Discount based on the storewide 30% promotion
= 30% x 1000
=
30100 x 1000
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 30% promotion
= 1000 - 300
= $700
Further discount after another 6% discount
= 6% x 700
=
6100 x 700
= $42
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 700 - 42
= $658
Answer(s): $658
